There’s nowhere in the world quite like Berlin. The German capital has seen its fair share of turmoil over the decades, and history is starkly visible at every turn. Many of the things to do in Berlin allow its visitors to soak up the past at iconic landmarks like the Berlin Palace and Checkpoint Charlie. But to dwell only on Berlin’s past would do this diverse city a disservice. With a skyline formed by an eclectic assortment of architectural styles, a mind-blowing nightlife scene, fantastic food, and a host of world-famous annual events, from Fashion Week to the Berlin International Film Festival, there’s a seemingly infinite reserve of things to do in Berlin.
Berlin’s turbulent 20th-century history has seen it bombed, rebuilt, broken in two, and brought back together again. Today, reminders of these events are scattered throughout the city. Some of the most unique experiences and memorable things to do in Berlin involve uncovering this infamous chapter of world history. Iconic sights like the Berlin Wall Memorial and its remnants, the sobering Holocaust Memorial, and the visible battle wounds that still scar the inner-city walls are stark reminders of the Berlin of yesteryear. Finding things to do in Berlin – a living museum – is almost too easy.
An urban landscape like no other, Berlin has an instantly identifiable skyline formed by an assortment of architectural styles that span centuries. The competing political ideologies of the city’s past each implemented their own contrasting urban planning visions, and the results of these still stand today. You don’t have to look hard for things to do in Berlin when the city itself is a work of architectural art. Walking down the streets, you’ll be treated to spectacular buildings in a range of iconic architectural styles: neoclassical, avant-garde, modernist, and contemporary.
Nights in the city are the stuff of legend, and some of the most exciting things to do in Berlin only appear when the sun goes down. As the techno capital of the world, the club scene here is like nowhere on earth, and weekend-long parties in abandoned power plants are the norm. But you don’t have to be wild to have an incredible time. There are literally thousands of things to do in Berlin at night, from grabbing drinks at a dive bar to attending a late-night art exhibition. The diversity of the nightlife scene caters to every type of night owl, so be sure to bring your stamina!
Berni was fantastic! She got to know us and adapted to our style very quickly. It felt as though we were wondering around Berlin with a close friend.

A great experience and a wonderful guide in Natalia who was able to offer an indepth knowledge surrounding Berlin’s history. Natalia organised a personalised tour and was always offering her support during our stay above and beyond the days tour. Thank you Nata you were wonderful!

We toured Berlin with Darren, and over our four hour tour we saw so many interesting sites and locations, including the "obvious" places on all tours, but also some unique spots of intellectual and historical significance. Truly a private, stylized tour that we thoroughly enjoyed!!!
